Spoke to a number of GTFC fans, during our memorable overnight stay up there (FAT defeat under Drax), and also at the PO final vs Bristol Rovers @ Wembley, and so I know that they know, unlike many of the BELTs, how tough and unforgiving NL is. Feel for them. They deserve better. https://twitter.com/5livesport/status/1387133524982042627

From a selfish POV, it's good to have another decent away day to look forward to (all being well), especially as we *could* conceivably lose one or two of Torquay/ Hartlepool/ Halifax, although Cleethorpes has much to live up to after our last visit! http://gomadorstopcaring.blogspot.com/2014/01/away-day-diary-grimsby-town-2-1.html

As for Bristol Rovers, they haven't covered themselves in glory this season: relegated from L1 - probably last - which is a disgrace, quite frankly, bearing in mind their budget. they buck their ideas up & that Fish vs Gas isn't, once again, a NL fixture http://gomadorstopcaring.blogspot.com/2015/06/away-day-diary-bristol-rovers-1-1.html

As for how/ why Grimsby Town are back in NL, have a read of this thread and, assuming your football club isn't owned and run by someone like John Fenty, thank your lucky stars. https://twitter.com/bornatotter/status/1387296569997905922
